Hey guys :)
I've had issues with my RADON 9600 Pro before and apparently solved them... I was so very wrong =/
256mb RADEON 9600 Pro problem This is the previous thread.
Basically, I have the infinite loop error. To get around it, I have to turn AGP Read and AGP Write off in SMARTGART.
I upgraded my drivers to Catalyst 7.9, in which I couldn't turn AGP Read off. So I rolled back to Catalyst 7.4, and I can turn AGP Read off... but everything is dead slow, scrolling down the screen takes ages and you can SEE the screen refreshing.
I tried to play GTA 3, and it told me that the game couldn't launch because of insufficient video memory. Odd, I thought, I should have 256 megs available on my video card.
Then I ran the Direct X diagnostic, and it tells me that Direct Draw, Direct 3D and AGP Acceleration is "not available".
I'm stumped. If I turn AGP Read on again, the infinite loop error will crash my games. If I turn have it off, even Windows crawls. What can I do? :(
